Viral Video Chart: X Factor, cute dog, Daft Punk spoofs

A chow puppy that can't jump and teen singer Tamera Foster's audition lead this week's rundown of the top online clips

We've for a wonderful mix of happy, sad, funny and cute videos for you this week. Starting with the "aaahh" factor, you won't be able to resist a tiny chow puppy that can't manage to jump up a small step.

But if it's a laugh you are after, take a look at our clip of an attempted robbery in Brazil, filmed by a security camera at the other side of the street. You'll also have a chuckle at a Crystal Palace fan who tries his hardest to get noticed as he stands behind a Sky Sports commentator during the Premier League transfer deadline day coverage.

Tears were shed this week for the veteran television presenter, David Frost – we remember him with a recording of his 2008 interview with actor George Clooney. For a shot of celebrity-hyped emotion, look no further than The X Factor arena auditions where Tamera Foster almost threw away her big opportunity when she tackled I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston.

Finally, we get happy with a couple of Daft Punk mash-ups – an infectiously upbeat treatment of Get Lucky and footage from Soul Train to the music of Lose Yourself to Dance.
